Thanks for the clarification, but I suspect it would help to know what your planned uses are. For me, my touring use needs are different for my needs running around town picking goods.

So for touring use I use an Extrawheel Voyager and used a BOB Ibex before that. In my experience both trailers work well, the Ibex if anything provides a bit more versatility if you want a trailer for both an around town and touring.

In terms of towing I am probably in more favour of the Voyager. I like the design, that it is easier to fly with and the use of panniers.

There is also a good discussion at the Australian Cycling Forums which might be worth a read.
